I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Mister Kipling was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bungle Davis (ranked 3423 p4p, 162 weight class) and Augusto Pinochet (ranked 980 p4p, 40 weight class). Davis's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Working Class Hero. Davis is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Davis is breathing heavily.
Pinochet successfully pulls guard.
Davis has a momentary lapse of concentration, allowing Pinochet to throw up a leg and lock on what appears to be a pretty tight triangle! Davis is fighting it off but it's all too little too late - Pinochet pulls down on the head and he's put Davis to sleep! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:43 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Augusto Pinochet!
